Delhi's maternal mortality ratio has decreased from 0.55 in 2019 to 0.44 in 2024, according to the 'Women and Men in Delhi-2025' report. This improvement coincides with substantial gains in healthcare accessibility, including increased institutional births (91.8%), better postnatal care coverage (85.4%), and reduced anemia rates among women. These developments, alongside a rising marriage age for women, demonstrate significant progress in maternal health outcomes compared to national averages.
